So what's hot idle pressure now?
Dos the gauge show a pressure when the ignition is turned on but engine isn't started?

Hot idle is about 80, when iginitio. Is on but not engine it's 0 then when started goes to 40 after a few seconds back to 80 the when all warmed up 110, could this be a sign of an oil change is needed, cheers for quick reply and help so far.

Oil pressure will drop when oil degrades not rise, so i dont suspect its your oil. Pressure can increase with tight tolerences in which case i would expect you to see slightly higher temps as the oil works harder, a restriction on the flow will also increase pressure, or a faulty sender unit could be at fault.
